About Colette
Colette Langridge is a Counsellor (NCPS) practising in the United Kingdom with 12 years of experience. She supports people with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, grief and intimacy-related issues. She also works with parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career pressures, ADHD and blended family issues.
Colette uses an integrative style. She combines insight into early attachment and family patterns with practical, body-aware work. Sessions often include talking through difficult memories, noticing how the body responds, and learning simple ways to manage strong feelings. She has more than six years of focused work supporting people who have experienced sexualised trauma and relational abuse.
Her approach draws on psychodynamic ideas about childhood and family of origin, attachment-based perspectives on relationships, and client-centred listening. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques and mindfulness practices are also used to help with mood, anxiety and everyday coping. Sensorimotor-style techniques may be included where bodily symptoms link to past distress.
Colette aims to help people make sense of patterns that keep causing pain. She works on practical steps to reduce anxiety, build clearer communication and increase emotional regulation. This can include setting small goals, practising new responses and rehearsing conversations.
For someone in a new or blended household, she can help untangle loyalty conflicts, role uncertainty and changing routines. To start you select the online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session.
Therapeutic approaches used online and what they feel like
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape present reactions. It helps when trust, closeness or loyalty cause difficulty in stephousehold roles and co-parenting dynamics. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on careful listening and following the client’s concerns. It supports people who need a steady space to talk through feelings about changing family roles and parenting challenges. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and build practical coping skills for anxiety, low mood and conflict situations.Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try methods that match those aims. This is a collaborative process and can change as the person’s needs evolve.
